Lots of sentimentality tonight as the last game ever is played in Edmonton's rink. It's about damn time, because a building with that much history shouldn't house a team so bloody awful.
Yeah, there's going to be a lot of rosy, feel-good Oilers love all over the television tonight, so you may wanna mute and use the radio broadcast if you can. And it's not that the Oilers shouldn't mark the occasion. This rink does indeed hold some amazing hockey memories. The Gretzky years were some amazing times. But this franchise is not that one. They share a name, but nothing else.
